But I miss some information. = However, I have a PC with already installed Windows 2000 on it. Also, = there are 2 partitions on it. So, my questions are: 1.

I will install FreeBSD from a CD. Do I need to make 2 floppy = diskettes (prior the installation) with the images of floppies\kern.flp = and floppies\mfsroot.flp, or the installation CD is all I need? The partition size is 10 GB, so I think, there will be no problems with = regard to the hard disk memory space. Also, I have 128 MB RAM.=20 Best regards, Marjan ------=_NextPart_000_0015_01C0DE19.04004890 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.3018.900" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I am a future user (beginner) of = FreeBSD, and I=20 have already read all about the installation instructions.
